Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are very strong actors. But Emily Blunt managed to steal very scene she was in with them. Not an easy thing to do. Love this woman.

They certainly made the most amazing triumvirate! Masterfully supported by Stanley Tucci, of course.

[@hollybryant6475]

Its so strange to me to be as beautiful as she is yet shes able to fill each roll as a new character without reminding me of the one she played before. So many actors get type cast for me, but somehow she does not.

[@larrydavis4019]

Holly Bryant ,Oh Miss Holly. What a wonderful observation. I would love to commend you on that. What a keen 👁️ you have. Do you have 3 Emily Blunt films that you enjoy viewing? Stay well Dear❤️.

[@briannajaneg5093]

I completely agree

[@leenolan1469]

AND the invisible woman?! A beauty!

[@KRLEEQ]

Especially seeing her in Sicario, I can’t believe it’s the same Emily Blunt who did Devil wears Prada & Mary Poppins 😱

[@52hello25]

I actually think it's because she's NOT beautiful. She's very pretty, but in a plain enough way that it's easy to build off of her face and make her look different just by changing her makeup and hair.

[@Mike9201984]

Edge of Tomorrow is such an underrated movie.

[@hu5skies]

I've always felt it had parallels to Groundhog Day

[@auroraborealis4185]

[@Vimpertusher]

It's epic! Loved it!

[@JimMcGrath25]

It’s the worlds best movie! Tom Cruise dies how many times? 😂

[@faisalmemon285]

Bad ending with all those grenades. Why did they do an exact copy of War of the Worlds for that scene? Also Tom Cruise returned to do some of his funny acting but he can’t help doing most of his scenes in his generic acting.

[@Theomite]

I like to wonder if that mom ever saw the movie and recognized herself. I certainly like to think her friends did and told her so.

[@mariaa9498]

She’s probably thinking “Where are my royalties?? I need to copyright this“. 😂

[@PossumPityParty]

I love her thing about empathy. That seems absolutely a great way to portray emotion in acting.

[@sahej6939]

Yes, no judgement.

[@hindsightpov4218]

My brother and I both struggled with stuttering when we were kids. It still happens to me when I’m tired with long words. To hear Emily Blunt struggled with stuttering as well when she speaks so eloquently makes me feel not so much as an outsider when I fall into that position.

[@SnowPiercer1975]

Nobody loves the sound of Howards voice more then Howard

[@altongrimes]

I'll never forget the power of her performance in Sicario. The extreme sensitivity and vulnerability that she so expertly manifested in that film was unforgettable.

[@willlasdf123]

The way she was able to subtly show that, while also looking pretty legit at being technical proficient, while also subtly showing that she was clearly trying to save face and look hard, was just all around quality acting.

[@thetvbaby83]

Yes she was totally amazing in that roll.

[@randomsandra4039]

Sicario hit me out of nowhere. Didn’t set out to see it and a friend chose the film. It was AmAzInG

[@iris-2021]

My daughter has dyslexia & really struggled with reading. She was introduced to Shakespeare at age 9 (by her 11 year old brother) & found it much easier to decipher and understand. She has read all of Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets but has never read Harry Potter. At 25, she goes to a bookstore every week. Last time I went with her, she bought Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Sometimes overcoming these issues takes just one person with a novel approach, to make a huge difference.

[@gA-er9hv]

I Am dyslexic and Harry Potter is a nightmare. Shakespeare is lot easier

[@flufygogogo]

Maybe Shakespeare was just dyslexic!

[@alenciaga21]

@@gA-er9hv i am sorry can you explain that? What's the reason for that? I don't really know much about Dyslexia so I am curious

[@lindsayswarthout9227]

If she hasn’t read them yet, you should check out Quirk Books Pop Shakespeare series! They are rewrites of familiar stories in Shakespearean language.

[@markgarcia8253]

As a dyslexic, the Bible and Shakespeare (redundant I know) are really easy to read because the way it’s written and the tempo of it. Partly cuz I think in that rhythm

[@meggy0]

I had a horrible speech impediment as a child. Doing accents and acting helped me so much, even though I don’t do it anymore it gave me confidence when I needed it the most.

[@lilfairykiki122]

For some reason him asking her if she was intimidated by working along side Streep and Hathaway bugged me. Almost as if he was implying she’s not on that level. Idk maybe it’s just they way he speaks and I’m not sure how established she was back when that movie came out but she’s easily a household name and is incredibly talented. All of those women are beautiful and talented and there is no need to compare.

[@Musicislovely]

Priya adams She was a newer actress. That was her breakout film.

[@elenapopovic2527]

Back then she wasnt as established, so it made sense for that time. But nowadays....

[@reginabillotti]

@@elenapopovic2527 Hathaway was still up and coming at the time, IMO. Granted, she had already done The Princess Diaries, so she wasn't a complete unknown, but her best stuff was still ahead of her.

She’s wasn’t on their level as far as acting credits and wasn’t a household name then.

[@leonardascorpius5304]

[@haoleboysurfec2730]

Interesting that Brits find southern accents easier to mimic. Anthropology of southern dialects reveal they originated from immigrants of British Isles in 17th and 18th centuries with influences from African cultures.

[@etaylor8028]

I flew into Dallas, and someone in the airport spoke to me and I swear to god I thought they were Irish, then i slowly realized their accent was American (I'm English).

[@mama--rua]

Southern accents seem easier for everyone its slower and drawn out and smooth. Aussies and kiwis have done it well too but our english comes from the brits so maybe thats why.

[@neweddard9358]

HaoleboySurfEC , that is probably why they don't have to suppress the brit accent which you can tell when they do non southern accents. They don't have to suppress just re-direct it somehow if that makes any sense.

[@9CosmicDancer9]

There's also a very noticeable French influence in the Southern American accent, especially Louisiana

[@jenneh.s649]

The southern accent is somewhat closer to the original British accent. The tonation and mouth shape

[@mangafq8]

I audited a class with Uta Hagen at HB Studios. She said she constantly observed people how they act, behave, do things and so forth. Great acting advice.

[@1rwjwith]

Emily Blunt to me was the hot chick in Devil Wears....that was the first time I saw her in a film and I knew she was going to be some kind of star. She was great and still is.

[@juliekostas7322]

Emily Blunt is divine and Howard Stern is such an engaged, disarming interviewer. Love them both to pieces.

[@gins8781]

He gets criticized a lot for his “aggressive” style, but I think that his fast pace prevents awkwardness in interviews. Sometimes people feel like dead space has to be filled and they can begin to ramble. That kind of situation can be uncomfortable.

[@helenhighwater5313]

Our HS English teacher said the same thing...that it was smooth transition from a British to an American Southern accent, which Vivien Leigh had masterfully expressed in her role as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. The subject came up in class because it was at the same time the movie was re-released into theaters and all the kids were seeing it for the first time. Our parents had seen it first run.

[@123JWJWJW]

The Southern accent is descended from wealthy British traders and aristocracy. You can hear it, especially in the Charleston area. Boston is the same. One big way to hear it is the dropping of the R's.

[@Aclaxl]

Please upload more video from Emily Blunt's Interview

[@boozoochavis7506]

I gotta say I have to agree here - most of my teachers were just working on their retirement and had given up caring long, long ago!

[@keepcalmcarryon8178]

Howard....just take at least 5 breaths after asking a question. Give your guests time to answer!

[@faceglider]

I'm from the south and actors rarely get a southern accent right. I think Anna Paquin in "True Blood" was one of the few that got it right.

[@Kiky812]

[@robhill8894]

I'll give you a little insight on stuttering..., at least as it applied to me. i used to stutter when I was in grade school, and it took me a long time to realize, I stuttered because I got cut off a lot when trying to express my feelings. I was too worried about getting cut off, and yet trying to say what I wanted to say fast before I got cut off, and it just domino'd into stuttering. When I learned to be more confident and assert myself, even if I had to keep raising my voice so I couldn't get cut off so easy, the stuttering went away. I think it also taught me to think a lot more about what I was going to say before starting to speak. Nowadays, not to toot my own horn too much, but I get comments like, "You're a wordsmith" etc. Anyway, I just thought I'd share that bit on stuttering. When Emily Blunt says, "You just have to feel it, and the camera see's everything".... It makes perfect sense.
